How safe is the autogas system when fitted?
Due to the fact that autogas is stored under pressure the tank is much stronger and can survive greater impacts than a petrol or diesel tank. In the event of a serious accident the tank and associated gas pipes are fitted with numerous safety devices, electronic and mechanical, to prevent and control the escape of the gas should a pipe line be severed. If the vehicle should catch fire in the event of an accident then the gas tank is designed to control its pressure via a pressure relief valve saving the tank from rupturing and causing further damage.
